Warne

Norman Dalziel Warne (1868–1905) was the third son of publisher Frederick Warne and joined his father's firm, Frederick Warne & Co., as an editor. He played a key role in publishing Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit after initial rejection, leading to its great success in 1902, and collaborated with her on subsequent books and merchandise like soft toys. Their professional relationship deepened, though Warne died young in 1905.[1]
